Yep. Luau has an LSP so you should be able to get all that. There is no support for Luau in Love2D though. You would have to author your code in Teal (typed lua to lua compiler) and then compile that to Lua to be run in Love: https://github.com/teal-language/tl You can get the Lua LSP working in Love2D with full completion support by the way. The Lua LSP has 3rd party libraries included in it. You can see all the preinstalled ones here: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/tree/master/3rd Support for them as built-ins will be removed at some point though. But you can always add them yourself: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Settings#w... using the files from here: https://github.com/LuaCATS/love2d/ It looks like the easiest way to support them is using a `.luarc.json` file though: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-lan

Fennel is indeed nice and I rewrote my config in it too, but looked back ~2 years later and rewrote it again in Lua. I think Fennel for configuration is not justified and just adds complexity. Also the tools are not there: two existing language servers[1][2] can't compete with Sumneko's Lua language server[3] and they are fennel-exclusive and clueless about Lua code. I still like Fennel for writing more complicated code (my plugins: [4][5]) because of neat features like pattern matching and structural decomposition, both are surprisingly robust.

I just started using lua and have types in vscode using lua annotations. https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Annotation...

There is https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server > Edit: FYI I use IntelliJ with Lua support, In other words, you don't like Lua, because your favorite IDE doesn't properly support it? (Or maybe it does, when you install the aforementioned language server)

For those interested in using Lua or a similar syntax I curated a list of typed Lua-related projects: - https://luau-lang.org (Lua derivative, interpreted / sandboxed, from Roblox) - https://terralang.org (Lua JIT compiler) - https://nelua.io (Lua-syntax -> C compiler (WASM too w/ Emscripten) - https://github.com/pallene-lang/pallene (Lua AOT compiler) - https://github.com/teal-language/tl (Teal -> Lua compiler) - https://typescripttolua.github.io/ (TS -> Lua compiler) - https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server (IDE only typing) With minimum effort you can get a lot of benefit from using Sumneko's Lua language server in VSCode for near many Lua versions (LuaJIT, PUC-Rio Lua, etc.) All of the projects serve different purposes, whether you need/love Lua for speed (JIT, for games), low memory usage (AOT, for embedded), or simplicity (a

There's many different approaches to typed Lua: - https://luau-lang.org (interpreted / sandboxed) - https://terralang.org (JIT interpreted) - https://nelua.io (Lua -> C) - https://typescripttolua.github.io/ (TS -> Lua) - https://github.com/teal-language/tl (Teal -> Lua) - https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server (IDE only typing) With minimum effort you can get a lot of benefit from using Sumneko's Lua language server.

Wow, amazing stuff. I love Lua, it was how I learned programming as a kid. Coincidently from the same world as the author. Open Tibia. The author made a custom client (https://github.com/edubart/otclient) for the game that is still very much in active use by thousands of players. He's a very skilled developer. Great to see AOT compiled Lua, I know of the other solutions: Luau (from Roblox), Teal, TypeScriptToLua, Terra, etc., but this one is my favorite so far. Love the simple compilation to C (and WASM support via Emscripten). Though Terra's JIT is enticing and good replacement for LuaJIT, this is for embedded systems, it's a good replacement for Lua PUC-Rio. Typed Lua Projects: - https://luau-lang.org/ - https://terralang.org/ - https://github.com/teal-language/tl - https://typescripttolua.github.io/ There's also a language server for L

Just now we had a bit of a kerfuffle with telemetry being enabled in the most popular Lua language server[0]. I can't argue with the specific usecase presented in that GitHub issue, I'm going to keep telemetry enabled. But if you argue that vendors "usually won't be inserting spyware", in the face of evidence like free software products seeing value in phoning home with telemetry data, I think I have the moral right to reject your argument in full. https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server/issues/462
